Overlooked Films: THINGS TO COME (1936)

I posted several cool posters from this film on Sunday (HERE), without realizing the whole dang movie (and colorized to boot) is in on YouTube. Well, I realize it now, and so do you. So here it is.

Cap Gun Monday: Leslie-Henry DAVY CROCKETT

Of course, Old Davy never saw a weapon remotely like this while he was alive, but that didn't stop toymakers like the Leslie-Henry Company of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania from cashing in on his fame. 

This 9-inch pistol, from around 1955, was manufactured with many different names, including Gene Autry and Annie Oakley, but the Davy model is scarcer than most, probably because they didn't sell as many (but don't tell Davy that).

Forgotten Stories: "Hop Cargo" - a SPICY ADVENTURE by Robert Leslie Bellem (READ IT HERE!)

PRESENTING . . . from the July 1937 issue of Spicy Adventure, a titillating tale of Dan Turner's second-cousin, news photographer Johnnie Piper. This is one of two Piper adventures I have, and since I have very few issues of the mag, it seems likely there were quite a few more. Anyone know?
